Kenwood's Kitchen & Tap — Restaurant in Costa Mesa

Went here on a Friday night with my family of four, was seated promptly, and brought drinks immediately. Food took a little while, but it was a busy Friday night. I had the Avocado BLT wrap, my husband had sliders, son had the kids’ chicken strips, and daughter had a spinach and strawberry salad. Everything was tasty, but gigantic portions. I particularly enjoyed my BLT - the bacon was crispy and the garlic aioli was on point. I also really appreciated that they could do it as a wrap instead of on Texas Toast. But it was huge. My tater tots didn’t stand a chance. However, there are worse things than having food to take home for leftovers, and tater tots reheat well in an air fryer (there were enough leftover to feed my whole family as a side dish for a dinner at home). Pricing seemed on par with a normal night out. $100 for our family of four, no apps or desserts, one kids’ meal, three adult meals, and two beers plus tip. I would go back. No photos as I devoured my wrap before photos...

My family and I picked this restaurant on a whim. We are here on vacation from AZ. We called and asked if they could seat a party of 12. We arrived 10 minutes after the call. They table was all set up and they were waiting for us. The inside and outside were pretty full. I was really impressed by that. The waiter Felix got our drinks out within a few minutes. Apps came out a minute later. Once we ordered our food. It was hot fresh and at our table in 10 minutes at most. Matt, the gm, came by and was really friendly. While we were eating my son, of course, I didn't like what he ordered. I had the same dish fish and chips it was amazing. They brought him out another meal, really quick. Then, a waitress shows up with three orders of churros. We thought they just came to the wrong table. Nope, Matt sent them on the house.

I have never seen such speed, teamwork, or happiness from a staff at any kid of business. This kinda of experience comes from great leadership. Thanks again, Matt,...

Craving an actual burger and something aside from fast food, I discovered this location!

I was pleasantly surprised with the staff. From start to finish, the service was exceptional and friendly at all times.

We started with the brusselsprouts, which were delicious, I'm generally not a fan of pecans, but these were a nice added touch to the sprouts.

The burger and fries were definitely amazing, I definitely got the burger i was craving, and it was cooked perfectly, juicey, and lots of flavor.

My partner got the avocado BLT and stated that she enjoyed every bite. It was our first dine-in dinner experience while visiting ( we'er from Canada, eh ), and we were ecstatic. we stumbled across this place.

I wish I had more time in California, so I could've eaten here again and tried the many different items...
